Abstract To design a quad feed end-fire microstrip patch antenna for airborne systems. Basically these type of antennas are most helpful for avoiding mid-air collisions between aircraft. The microstrip patch antenna is very small in size and it is less in weight. Due to small size and less weight, it offers an easy design and fabrication process. The microstrip patch antenna has radiating patch on one side and ground on the other side. They operate at microwave frequencies. The low profile structure of microstrip antenna offers its wide use in wireless communication. They are used as communication antenna on missiles. Traffic alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) is an airborne system which is utilized to provide the service as last defense equipment for avoiding mid-air collisions between the aircraft. 1.03 GHz and 1.09 GHz are the transmitting and receiving frequencies of the existing TCAS antenna respectively. In airborne systems, low aerodynamic drag is required. FR4 epoxy is chosen as the substrate material whose dielectric constant is 4.4. 1.06GHz is chosen as the design frequency, since it is centre frequency between 1.03GHz and 1.09GHz. Microstrip patch antenna always radiates in the broadside direction which is along elevation plane. Due to metallic cap, microstrip patch antenna can also radiate in the end fire radiation which is along the azimuth plane. The ground plane must have very large dimensions than the patch. This microstrip patch antenna working at UHF (Ultra High Frequency) band is designed and their parameters like gain, directivity, return loss, VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) and radiation pattern have been analyzed and simulated using ANSYS HFSS (High Frequency Structure Stimulator).

In paper, a low profile microstrip patch antenna with rhombus model is designed at an running frequency at 2.4 GHz, 5.2 GHz. Microstrip Patch Antenna are suited to non-plane and plane areas, uncomplicated and effortless to design by used Printed Circuit Technology, it is a mechanically vigorous when it is ascended on rigid places and when the particular patch design model and dimension were selected, it has adjustable in view of resonance frequency, radiation design, impedance and polarization. High Frequency Structural Simulator (HFSS) is a definite component method solver for structures of EM (electromagnetic). The outcome values are discussed and analyzed in view of S11 (Return Loss), 3D Polar Plot, Radiation design and Gain. The value of S11 comes out to be -14.16dB for the designed antenna. The antenna measured length is nearly half wavelength in the dielectric, it is a highly censorious parameter, which governs the antenna resonant frequency. And the final values are simulated using High Frequency Structural Simulator

As the wireless technology is advancing rapidly, there is also an increasing demand for high data rates and large bandwidth. So, the new generation technology (5G) is proposed. For this purpose, there is a need of advanced antenna design, and here the authors are using a microstrip patch antenna, which is highly preferred due to low profile, simple manufacturing, and ease of feeding. This research presents the design of 28.132 GHz microstrip patch antenna. We have used FR-4 substrate here is which has a dielectric constant Er= 4.3 and a thickness of 0.5 mm. The dimensions of patch are 4.8×6.8×0.5mm including the ground plane. It has a bandwidth of 1.613 GHz, return loss of -19.175 dB, VSWR 1.24 dB, VSWR as 1.24 dB, gain as 3.82 dB and total efficiency of -3.116 dB.. The designing and simulation of this antenna is performed by CST studio suite software and various specifications such as S-parameter, VSWR, and radiation pattern is discussed. Furthermore, comparative analysis is done, which is indicating the variation of antenna parameters on varying the design dimensions.

The microstrip patch antenna is used in various communication applications including cellular phones, satellites, missiles, and radars, due to its several attractive features such as small size and weight, low cost, and easy fabrication. The microstrip patch antenna consists of a top radiating patch, a bottom ground plane, and a dielectric substrate in between. The patch can have different shapes, the rectangular patch being the most commonly used. In practice, the microstrip antenna suffers from narrow bandwidth and low gain efficiency. This paper aims to enhance the bandwidth and efficiency of a rectangular-patch antenna using the High-Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS). Initially different patch sizes and substrate materials are investigated and optimal antenna parameters are achieved. Then, the antenna performance is further enhanced by inserting single and double slot designs into the patch. Two cost-effective feeding methods are involved in the investigation. The antenna is designed to operate in the Super High Frequency (SHF) band.

The resonance frequency 1.9GHz of the designed antenna is using as a high frequency. This paper mainly worked on return loss. The Return loss of the proposed antenna reduced to -31,16dB & bandwidth is increased up to 41.9MHz. This antenna is small size, cheap, compact and easy to fabricate, and achieve good radiation characteristics with higher return loss. In this paper return loss basically defined as system becomes stable with reduced return loss.

Abstract In this paper, a Tri-band microstrip-line-fed low profile microstrip patch antenna is proposed for future multi-band 5 G wireless communication applications. The proposed antenna is printed on a compact Rogers RT5880 substrate of dimensions 20×16.5×0.508 mm3 with relative permittivity, εr of 2.2 and loss tangent, tan δ of 0.0009. To improve return loss and bandwidth of the proposed antenna, a partial ground plane technique is employed. The proposed antenna operates at 10, 28, and 38 GHz, three of the selected frequencies which are allocated by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) for 5 G mobile communications. To reduce interference between the 5 G system and other systems in the band, a pair of T-shaped slots is etched in the radiating patch to reject unwanted frequency bands. The proposed design provides a gain of 5.67 dB at 10 GHz, 9.33 dB at 28 GHz and 9.57 dB at 38 GHz; the radiation pattern is mostly directional. The proposed antenna is designed and optimized using two commercial 3D full-wave software, viz. CST microwave studio and Ansoft HFSS. A prototype of the designed antenna that was fabricated and showed good agreement between the actual measurements of S11 & VSWR and the simulation results using both software.

The investigation of microstrip fix radio wires has gained awesome ground as of late. Contrasted and ordinary reception apparatuses, microstrip fix recieving wires have more points of interest and better prospects.

Microstrip patch antenna is very popular and extensively used in GHz wireless communications. The demand of increased wireless communication applications, needs increase in bandwidth, gain, efficiency and isolation of microostrip patch antenna. Microstrip patch antenna is a low profile antenna but has narrow bandwidth, low gain, low efficiency and isolation. In this paper a microstrip patch antenna is designed with 1.6mm RT Duroid substrate material. The bandwidth, gain and isolation were found to be 60MHz, 7.5dB and -40dB with dual resonance. The bandwidth and isolation enhancement is achieved withsecond resonance suppression technique. The second resonance suppressed by using two slots. Simulations were conducted with different lengths of slots and at different positions and compared. A bandwidth of 270MHz, gain of 7.9dB and an isolation of -46dB are obtained. Bandwidth increase of 450% and 115% isolation increase are achieved.
